 mature fruits on Henry 9902 are 2 cm. long and 3 to 3.5 cm. wide (includ- 

 ing the wings) and the description of lUigera cordata Dunn should thus be 

 changed from "fructus 3-5 cm. latus" to "3-3.5 cm. latus." 



Illigera yaoshanensis Hao, Repert. Sp. Nov. 42 : 84. 1937. 



This species, described from fruiting spécimens from Kwangsi (Sin 1536, 

 3536) and Hainan (Henry S 5 64), should be compared with Illigcra platy- 

 andra Dunn, as it seems, from the description, to be very similar to the 

 latter rather than to /. molUssima W. VV. Smith, to which it was compared. 

 In the description "petiolis 10-20 mm. longis" niust be an error for the 

 petiolules. I think that Tsang 23288 from Tou Xgok Shan, Kwangsi, near 

 the Kwangtung border, represents Hao's species, and if so, then it would 

 seem to be clear that his species should be reduced to /. platyandra Dunn. 



C.\PPARIDACEAE 

 Capparis Petelotii sp. nov. 



Frutex .glaber, circiter 2.5 m. altus, inermis (saltem in partibus superiori- 

 bus), ramis teretibus, ultimis circiter 3 mm. diamètre; foliis chartaceis, 

 oblongo-ellipticis, 20-35 cm. longis, 7-12 cm. latis, basi rotundatis vel laie 

 acutis, apice apiculato-acuminatis, in sicco pallide viridibus, supra nitidis. 



1942] MERRILL, RECORDS OF INDOCHINESE PLANTS, III 169 



"Kurz" (accredited by Kurz to Endlicher), but as Koehne notes, this spé- 

 cifie name cannot be retained as it was based on Polydontia arborea Blume 

 (see Jour. As. Soc. Bengal 45(2): 303. 1876) and Blume's species was 

 based on a mixture, including Pygetim latijolium Miq., P. griseum Blume, 

 P. parviflorum Teysm. & Binn., and P. Blumci Koehne, as interpreted by 

 Koehne. In Pygcum affine Merr. the basai glands are usually absent, or if 

 présent, then a single one, and this obscure and plane, not at ail saccate. 

 The inflorescences are mostly racemes, but occasionally there are one or 

 two latéral branches as much as 2.5 cm. long. 



Pygeum brachybotrys sp. nov. § Cylopygenm ? 



Arbor, ramis teretibus, in sicco nigris, glabris, conspersissime lenticellatis, 

 ramulis junioribus circiter 1.5 mm. diametro, dense breviter ferrugineo- 

 pubescentibus; foliis chartaceo-coriaceis, oblongo-ovatis, integris, 5-7 cm.
